Money 03 (Sep 11 - Dec 13)

[winston]

Don't insult time.

Compare how you spend your time and how the most powerful and successful persons spend their time.

The president of a country or a big firm starts his day early and every appointment is preset.

These people do not insult time. When you insult time, you insult money.

~ Dr. Pillai

"Man was born to be rich, or inevitably to grow rich, through the use of his faculties."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

[winston]

You cannot be less than you are now.

You cannot achieve a vibration that is less than the vibration that you have achieved.

That's why when someone achieves an empire and then something happens where it is lost or destroyed, they still have the vibration that they've achieved, and the empire will come back again—you see it all the time—because it is the vibrational status that the Universe is responding to, not the financial status.

--- Abraham

Money Is Not the Answer By T. Harv Eker

Money is not the answer. That's got to sound ironic coming from someone who believes whole-heartedly in the benefits of being rich.

Forget about getting out of debt, paying bills, buying nice things, etc. That stuff's great, but at the end of it all you're not going to give a damn about your credit rating. Money's the last thing on your mind in that moment, I would imagine.

Money can reduce the stress of living, but it can bring just as much if not more anxiety. I've gone through my cycles of accumulating and losing money, getting more and losing it again.

The money wasn't burning a hole in my pocket. I just had a big hole in my pocket and didn't bother to sew it up. That hole represented something in my mental blueprint that kept me from being stable with money. There was nothing wrong with the money.

On the other hand, people without money often think if they just had enough to do this or that, then things would be better. While that may be true, what happens when the mind goes into 'Only if …' consistently? That's exactly what you get … 'only if.'

'This will only happen if…'

All of a sudden, nothing's happening and you don't even know or remember that rule you created. In business that thinking often translates into "It takes money to make money." No! If you have money it can certainly grow more money, but it doesn't take money to make money. It takes creativity to make money.

Throwing money at a problem is disaster! In business there's no such thing as a money problem. That problem grew out of somewhere else. You want to fix the root of the problem. If you throw money at a business problem, you'll have the same business problem for the rest of your life and no money. Creativity and knowledge are the answers, not money.

It's also not logical to blame money for people's shortcomings, or the world's for that matter. Obviously there are people that are rich and greedy, but there are poor people who are greedy and there are middle class people who are greedy.

There are rich, poor, and middle-class people who are generous. There are rich, poor and average income people who can be both generous and greedy, depending on the stress they're going through at any given time.

To say rich people are greedy as a blanket statement is just as unfair as saying poor people are lazy. I've met many a hard-working poor person who just hadn't yet turned the corner on working smarter instead of just harder.

Money can't be the root of all evil. Envy, jealousy, and greed—all based on fear of not having or getting enough of something we want—pre-dated currency (think about the story of Cain and Able). It's a part of what it means for us to be human.

If money isn't the cause of all that's wrong, it's not going to be the cure either. It's not the answer.

It's the fruit of our expansion—or lack thereof—beyond ourselves and of the impact we're having on the world. What we choose to do with that is a result of who we choose to be, not because of money.

"You have much more opportunity to earn more money than you do to 'not spend' money, and yet most people spend hours upon hours clipping coupons and perusing daily deal sites instead of brainstorming how to earn more money and solve people's problems."

The Truth About Money By Craig Ballantyne

If you need more money, the best thing for you to do is to switch from a negative cost-cutting mindset, to a positive value-adding approach.

If you need money, you must find a way to MAKE more of it.

You can only slash your spending so far. At some point you'll hit the bone of necessity - and you can't cut that.

So you need to switch your energy over to creating more value.

Focus on building your wealth and protecting it.

There is nothing else you can do."

Look at the birds in the sky! They don't plant or harvest. They don't even store grain in barns.

Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren't you worth more than birds?

Paper Money May Be Hurting Your Health, As Well As Your Wealth by WashingtonsBlog

Fiat Money May Be Putting Your Wealth On a Diet … But It May Be Making YOU Fat

Precious metal fans claim that the paper money in your wallet or purse are continually shrinking in value. And see this, this and this.

But it may be making you fat.

Specifically, paper money contains bisphenol-A, more commonly known as BPA. The San Francisco Chronicle reported in 2008:

Twenty-one out of the 22 $1 bills tested in California, 17 other states and Washington, D.C., carried small amounts of the chemical….

Exposure to BPA substantially increases the chances of obesity.
